I GIUSEPPE M. PELLETTIERI, OF ST. LOUIS, IIIISSOURI.

FLY-PLAEER HOLDER.

Application filed August 24, 1922.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ,Grusnrrn M, Pnnnn'r- Time, a citizen of the United States. resid ing' at St. Louis, in the State of Missouri,

have invented new and useful Improvements in, Fly-Paper Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relatesto; a fly paper holder, and; has for its object to provide a holder of such class, in a manner as. hereinafter set forth, with means for supporting and suspending poisonous fly paper in positionwto attract the flies, soit can be readilyattacked by theflies, and furthermore to provide a holder, with means in a manner as hereinafter set forth, whereby the fly paper, while suspended can be moistened.

A further object of the invention is to provide a holder of such class, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, with a fly paper support and further with means for detachably securing the paper in position on the support, said securing means permitting of the quick removal of the paper from the sup port and the substituting of new paper when occasion so requires. 7

A for her object of the invention is to provide a holder of the class referred to, in a manner as hereinafter setv forth, with means for clamping poisonous fly paper to a support so as to prevent the accidental separation of the paper from the support.

A further object of the invention is to provide a fly paper holder, in a manner as here inafter set forth, having means for suspend ing and supportingpoisonous fly paper,,as well as further havingmeans providing a collector for the dead flies.

Further objects :of the invention. are to provide a fly paper holder which, is simple in its construction and arrangement, strong,

durable, efficient and convenient in its use, readily assembled and inexpensive to manufacture.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consistsof the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in the accompanying; drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications Serial No. 58%,056.

can be resorted to which come within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views Flgure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a fly paper holder in accordance with this invention,

Figure 2 is a side elevation, broken away, illustrating the cap member in engaging position with respect to the poisonous fly paper,

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the device.

Referring to the drawings in detail, 5 de notes a semi-spherical hollow inner container, which has secured to the upper face of its bottom, as well as projecting upwardly therefrom, a frust0-conical shape hollow support 6, and against the periphery thereof is secured, in a manner as hereinafter referred to, a wrapping of poisonous fly paper 7. The paper 7 extends from the top to the bottom of the holdere.

Securedat its lower end, centrally of the upper faceof the bottom of the inner container 5, isthe lower end of a vertically disposed hanger rod 8, which is employed for suspending the holder wh en, desired, and the said hanger rod 8, extends upwardly through the support 6, cei trally thereof, as well. as projecting a considerable distance above the upper end of the support 6. The upper terminus of the rod 8, is provided with an eye 9, and which permits of suspeu ding the rod 8 from any suitable support.

Slidably mounted on the upper portion of the rod 8 above the upper end of the support 6, is a frusto-conicalshape member 10 having its top formed with an opening. 11, for the passage of the rod 8. The lower edge of the body of the cap member 101s serrated, to provide teeth 12, adapted to engage in the paper 7. The cap 10 is employed for clamping the upper portion of the paper 7 around the upper portion ofthesupport 6, and when in clamping position, the cap member 10 ex tends down over the top of the sup ort 6, as well as over the upper portion of t e paper 7 and the teeth 12 are; adapted to engage in the paper 7. The cap member 10 frictionally secures the upper portion of the paper 7 around the support 6.

The lower portion of the paper 7 is secured around the base of the support 6, by a tapering sliding collar 13, which when in position, abuts against the upper face or the bottom of the container 5, shown in Figure l, and securely clamps the lower portion of the paper T to the support 6.

When the sliding collar 13, mounted in clamping position, it provides, in connection with the body of the container 5, a chamber t, to which is supplied a body of water 15. The collar 13, is formed with perforations l6, so that the water in the chamber 1%, can be supplied to the paper 7, and through the medium of capillary attraction, the paper will he moistened throughout.

The inner container 5, is supported in spaced relation, within an outer container 17, by a series of vertically disposed resilient supports 18, and the said outer container 17 provides a supporting base for the. con taiuer 5 and also acts as a collector in case the device is shifted and the water split from theinner container 5. The. cap 10 and collar 13, can be readily shifted, to permit of the replacing of a new sheet of fly paper 7 when occasion requires, and then furthermore shifted in an opposite direction to provide means for clamping the new sheet of paper to they support 6. As the cap member 10 is conical in contour, and the vcollar 13 tapered, the clamping of the paper can be had, as is obvious, since the diameter of the cap member 10 with respect to the upper portion of the supportfl and the diameter of the collar 13 with respect to the lower portion of the support 6, is such as to provide for a t1ght clamping, action when.

the member 10 and collar 13 are in clampa ing position, under such conditions preventing any accidental displacement of thefly paper, if the holder is shifted accidentally, or swung on its pivot by air currents or otherwise. i

hat I claim is 1. A fly paper holder comprising a container, a conoidal-shape support projecting upwardly therefrom and adapted to have a sheet offly paper detaehably connected therewith, a conoidal-shape shiftable cap member cooperating with the upper end of .,'the support to detachably secure the fly paper thereto, and a tapering, shiftable collar cooperating with the lower portion of the support for detachably securing the fly paper thereto. v

2. A fly paper holder comprising a container, a conoidal-shape support projecting I upwardly therefrom and adapted to have a sheet of fly paper detachaby connected therewith, a conoidal-shape shiftable cap member cooperating with the upper end of the support to detachably secure the fly paper thereto, and a tapering, shiftable collar 00- operating with the lower portion of t e support for detachably securing the fly paper thereto, said collarbeing apertured to permit of the supply of water from the container to moisten the fly paper on the support. V

3. A fly paper holder comprising a corn tainer, a support secured thereto and projecting therefrom and adapted to have the fly paper detachably clamped thereon, a shiftahle cap member associating with the upper end of said support and detachahly clamping the fly paper thereon, a shiftahle ring associated with the lower portion of the support for detachably clamping the fly paper thereon, and a suspension means for said container.
